A working agency, not a sales floor

We build the quiet software that runs your company.

A three-person studio. We sit with one founder at a time and automate the dull machinery of their company so the team gets the next quarter back.

01 / Manifesto

Most agencies sell hours. We sell a finished thing.

Scoped, shipped in 90 days, and handed over with the keys. Four clients a year means you get all three of us on the one problem eating your week.

  1. 01

    Sit beside the founder

    Two days on-site at kickoff. Butcher paper before laptops.

  2. 02

    Ship in 12 weeks

    Diagnose, build in the open, handover. Then we leave.

  3. 03

    Use AI only where it earns its keep

    Otherwise: a cron, a queue, a clean schema. Boring is a compliment.

02 / Capabilities

Four shapes the work usually takes, depending on what is leaking.

01 / 04

Operational AI

Agents that read, write, file, and chase with human review and eval harnesses so they cannot drift in silence.

02 / 04

Internal tools

Admin panels, approval flows, and audit trails built on the stack your team already owns.

03 / 04

Data plumbing

ETL from the SaaS tools your operators live inside into one source of truth your CFO opens on Mondays.

04 / 04

Document intelligence

Invoices, contracts, KYC, returns, and messy PDFs structured with citations and reviewable confidence.

03 / Process

A quarter, sliced four ways.

  1. 01
    Week 0

    The conversation

    A 90-minute call. We tell you which shape you are, or that you are not for us.

  2. 02
    Week 1

    Diagnosis on-site

    Two of us shadow ops, finance, and the founder's inbox. We leave with a one-pager and fixed price.

  3. 03
    Weeks 2-10

    Build in your Slack

    Daily standup, Friday demo, live Linear. Your team reads the work as it is written.

  4. 04
    Weeks 11-12

    Handover and withdraw

    We train two of your people, hand over the runbook, leave the Slack, and stay for a six-week warranty.

05 / Field notes

Things we wrote down, so we would not forget.

01On AI
Engineering

When a cron beats a model

The decision tree we run before reaching for an LLM, and why boring infrastructure still wins most weeks.

How to fire your agency in week one

House rules
  1. 01

    We tell you not to hire us if your problem is a hiring problem.

    We do not start what we cannot finish in a quarter.

    No junior team copies our work for the next client.
